Yes, I caught your idea from your first answer. You strictly distinguish running wine itself (which can be compiled for most of current CPUs) + winelib apps (compiled the same way) from running native windows apps, which is not possible, because wine doesn't contain an x86 emulator. You are absolutely RIGHT. But you are talking to people, which don't have such a deep understanding how the things work. They don't distinguish between "running wine" and "running windows app using wine", because they never do anything else than the second, and they obviously are referring to this as "running wine". Therefore, your answer is confusing them. It is not important for them to know, that wine itself can run on their CPU, because they will never be able to recompile, say, excel or photoshop, to be a winelib app. So, for them, wine doesn't work at all (nobody will be happy running winecfg or wine's notepad itself :-) ). Please, keep in mind, that there is really a big difference in your knowledge compared to their, and think thrice before writing such answers. Either don't write anything, or write the complete information (wine itself can run, but window apps can not, because...). I personally like you and your efforts to help wine; don't degrade your efforts by such "counter-productive" answers, it can really cause more harm than help. With regards, Pavel Troller
